Comillas Pontifical University joins the AI Alliance, an international community to advance towards open, safe and responsible AI. This alliance represents a further step in the recognition of Comillas as a world leader in the ethical use of AI, both from an academic point of view and from the point of view of industrial development. It also represents a possibility for the university to connect with other key companies and institutions in the development of this technology.

For the time being, Comillas will be present in two of the AI Alliance's working groups, in which it will contribute both its experience in the design of its undergraduate and master's degrees in AI and its knowledge on the ethical use of artificial intelligence, contained in a manual drawn up with the collaboration of experts from more than ten key areas for the development of AI, such as healthcare, education and scientific research. It will also lead actions to promote AI in the energy sector.

"At Comillas we are committed to open innovation as a basis for collaboration and progress in society, and by promoting transparency and responsible use, we will maximise the impact of AI on education and research," said Antonio Muñoz San Roque, director of the ICAI School of Engineering. "We must ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence, whose transformative potential we are only beginning to understand, are distributed equitably across society. Ethical innovation is now more important than ever," he says.

"Comillas Pontifical University's membership of the AI Alliance reinforces our shared commitment to ethical, open and responsible artificial intelligence. We already have the privilege of collaborating with this institution through various lines of collaboration, such as IBM Skillsbuild, and we applaud their addition to the AI Alliance," said Cristina Marqués, Director of the Academic Sector for Spain, Portugal, Greece and Israel at IBM, a co-sponsor of the alliance along with META. "At IBM, we believe that collaboration between academia and industry is key to accelerating AI innovation and ensuring its ethical development and positive impact on society".

The AI Alliance is a group of leading industry, government and academic organisations coming together to support open AI innovation and science. The AI Alliance is action-oriented, internationally focused and designed to create opportunities everywhere across a wide range of institutions that can shape the evolution of AI in ways that better reflect the needs and complexity of our societies.

The AI Alliance is focused on fostering an open community and enabling developers and researchers to accelerate responsible innovation in AI while ensuring scientific rigour, trust, security, diversity and economic competitiveness.
